After seeing Ash's R31 video I thought I'd give a go at something similar... so me and a mate has been working on a little something on the side for the fun and experience of it and here's the outcome:

Let us know what you reckon... in regards, to content, camera angles, camera technique, what you would like to see, what you didn't like etc etc

Give us some input, I want to make it bigger and better!

Already had some suggestions from guys over at other forums, I know the music is a bit meh.... any DJs on here want some promo? lol

But yeah, it's a learning experience! Hope yous all enjoy it.

P.S. already started gathering footage for next episode - stay tuned! :thumbsup:

You're definitely on the right path as a practice run, as has been said you need better mic work...

Honestly constructive criticism here??? Do more takes if it needs it... As a viewer it feels like you guys got the first takes that were passable and ran with it...

.. So do two or three more takes next time you film.. Reason being is it's great practice for acting, helps you feel a bit more comfortable and confident on camera and makes everything flow a bit better...

The more you do this the better you'll get :) but simply put my personal constructive criticism is this would be perfect IF you the host lil miss r32 had a bit more practice and just didn't seem so.... Hmm. Unsure?

But it will come with time!!!

And my other constructive critic is relocate to Perth so I can give you proper headlight restoration... Other than that the car is spot on!!!

typevu - Do you guys have any future plans to travel and film the modified import street scene in other states? I'd love to come along and be part of it all if you guys came to VIC for a weekend of filming or something. Keep all of us in the know.

If you guys DO go interstate, get in touch with me.

There's always something going on here and if youre after stunning cars there's enough of that here aswel

Cheers guys I'll let yous know if we ever do. Although, you guys in the eastern states already have all the big name automotive tv/dvd/internet shows anyway! lol

The main aim of this project for myself and Kahli was to have fun, gain experience and improve skills - and especially the FUN part as we both have a passion for the cars. And at the same time to show off to world what Adelaide has on offer kinda thing...

It's nice getting seen and complimented and encouraged by professionals in the industry(Mighty Car Mods!) :yes:

and then you get some clowns, some of the post got deleted actually - didn't expect any less of NS.com... http://nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=490108&st=30

I would happily watch anything hosted by that young lady even if her car isnt to my tastes . Just want to avoid the dodgy sound track and the weird special effects . You dont get a feel for a car cruise when its shown through sepia tones and never EVER speed up the driving scenes . Only aus top gear is that lame !!

But definately keep at it , the car scene on dvd and tele always comes accross as cringe worthy as the hosts tend to worship certain work shops with their skylines on 24 inch chromies more suited to HOT4's mag

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
